Feist – Cicadas and Gulls Lyrics 12 years ago
a few thoughts:

"I'll ride you back the arc" might be "I'll ride him by the arc" or "arriving by the arc"
"because you might" i think it should be "because you're mine" (when you listen very closely)
"as deep as a page" should probably be "empty as a page"

Beach House – Used to Be Lyrics 13 years ago
You are coming home, are you still alone?
Are you not the same as you used to be?
As the sun grows high and you serve your time
does each day just feel like another lie?

Now you know, is it just for show,
just a foolish game that you hide behind?
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right,
are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be

In an endless night, could you feel the fright
of an age that was and could never be?
So we hold it close when we feel the most
like a love that we could not leave behind

We turn the wheel to which way we feel
till I'm lost and I cannot find you there
Don't forget the nights when it all felt right,
are you not the same as you used to be?
Used to be

Even if I tried so hard,
would we still be coming to an end?
Even if we spoke the same words,
would we still return as friends?

Even if it's simple from the start,
we would give the pieces of our hearts
And when there is nothing left to pretend
we will know it's coming to an end

Even if I tried so hard,
we would give the pieces of our hearts
It's always good to see you again
Even if it's coming to an end

We could wait until the summer,
see what happens to the other
We could stay inside all summer,
see what that means to the other

Gregory and the Hawk – Superlegend Lyrics 15 years ago
I think the line 'to tears above' is correct, 'I'd get lies' however should be 'I'd get lost'

Beautiful song!

Gregory and the Hawk – Ghost Lyrics 15 years ago
I believe these are the correct lyrics:

I woke up with my head on a bee's nest
And my feet on your jacket
It was a while, it was a long
it was a long, long night

And your lips are like little stings
Set me to wondering
If there's anyway and anytime
I could have, I would have tried

I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me
Fall into your arms again
Like you always want me to
You always want me to
But you never ever knew

I woke up with my mind on a reason
For why it's right to believe in you
Until we're drawn into the swarm
Of a warm, white tide

And your lips are like little stings
Set me to wondering
If there's anyway or anytime
I could have, I would have tried

I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me
Fall into your arms again
Like you always want me to
You always want me to
But you never ever knew

And now you find it's harder to see
The future so clearly
Will it always be, will it always be

I had you back but then you ran
Like you never ever knew me
Fall into your arms again
Like you always want me to
You always want me to
Never ever really knew

Ane Brun – Rubber And Soul Lyrics 15 years ago
I mostly agree with jrlaffrey, except for the end of the song.
"And then when you are not in my dreams and not in my mind
but we are at the same place at the same time
rubber no longer holds the borders of my soul"
Since she sings the rubberbands "keep her from crawling and falling" when she thinks or dreams of him earlier along in the song, I think that when she is in fact confronted with her ex-lover, she can no longer keep it together. His presence makes it impossible for her to pretend she's fine.

Voxtrot – Ghost Lyrics 15 years ago
'I have no choice but to be vicious on my feet
I never sleep, I never eat
I am learning how to be lost completely
I want to be found, be craved like things we push away
These patterns cut like every day
I need you to reach, I need you to need me'

possibly one of the most beautiful part of lyrics I ever read, especially the last sentence, he sings it so vulnerable too

Love both versions, though

78 Saab – No Illusions Lyrics 15 years ago
To me this song is about being so deeply in love with someone that you son't see their faults or just don't care about them, but then when you're 'blind to all the same old thoughts' meaning no longer in love, you see what they're really like and you're no longer under the illusion of the other person being saint-like.

Also, since the lines go 'I'm under no illusions NOW' i'm thinking the loved person might have done something mean, and this is why the narrator's eyes are finally opened.

Maria Mena – Belly Up Lyrics 15 years ago
First I believe 'Our bickering has reached it's limb'
should be: 'Our bickering has reached it's limit'

Well I think the song must be about a breakup ('our OLD world is hard to find') and he turns out to be quite mean, not talking to her and probably avoiding her, at the times when they're not argueing.

I'm not quite sure what 'We lie belly up in the pool of us' means, but I figure it is that they're still stuck in what they were, it's all around them. Also she'll love him forever, however much it hurts, which speaks for itself.

The Maccabees – Mary Dress Super Hero Lyrics 16 years ago
In between he sings: 'I'm whishing it was you'

The Maccabees – First Love Lyrics 16 years ago
this song is soo great.
I just always thought it was 'First love, lost love'
And then the reason why he sings 'only love, it's only love' is because he still loves his first love but it all went wrong, so by saying it's only he's trying to convince himself and at the same time I agree that it sounds sarcastic.

Break-up song, I thought.

submissions
The Kooks – Gap Lyrics 16 years ago
'But what's so this I see?'
should be:
'But what's all this I see'

Love this song, I didn't know it was about the death of the drummer's father. i guess the song fits in many situations, also for a relationship falling apart..

submissions
Feist – My Moon My Man Lyrics 16 years ago
i think the moon metaphor means that he's not letting her into her life, he only shows up when he wants to: he is 'changeable' en she desperately wants him to 'shed some light' on her, which obviously means she wants him with her.

Then in my opinion the anal thing is just rubbish. It's just about emotions, come on.
'take it easy on me' as in 'don't break my heart', because their relationship is kinda messed up.

submissions
Adele – Right as Rain Lyrics 16 years ago
i think 'go ahead and still my heart' should be 'go ahead and steal my heart', it makes more sense.

The song's meaning is kind of obvious i guess. She's had enough of him, he's hurt her way too many times.
I wish I could sing this song and mean it too.

Adele – Daydreamer Lyrics 16 years ago
this song is so beautiful..
that sentence 'He lends his coat for shelter because he’s there for you when he shouldn’t be' i love the most
anyway, maybe 'Her joy...' should be 'a joy-driver' haha but that doesn't really make any sense at all but it's what I hear

Gregory and the Hawk – In Fact Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is soo great!
These lines are so spot on:
"oh that's right, I did nothing and you were the mean one [...]
in fact, don't wanna be friends''

I agree with megn and dotheycollide, it's about a girl who's really trying hard to get over her ex, she know's it's no use loving him but it's not easy because she really did care.
Hmpf. Sounds like me.

Kate Walsh – Bury My Head Lyrics 16 years ago
well that is one of the lines that make me think that she's actually 'the other woman' like i said before, lacerbuffy.
She's not the one really cheaten on - he cheats on someone WITH her. So he would tell her about his girlfriend en the plans they were making, which probably means he told her that he wasn't going to leave his girlfriend: 'I knew it was hard for you to say'
But she wants him to be only hers: 'Please just be my darling, my dear'

Angus and Julia Stone – I'm Yours Lyrics 16 years ago
This song seemed so contradicting to me at first: she's singing she's his, but at the same time saying 'love is a mistake we made'
But after thinking about it, I can relate; I love this boy and i'm all his, but still he causes me so much pain it's rather unnerving and then love feels like a mistake.
Yet I still don't understand why she sings '[Love] wasn’t a price I wanted to pay', because if it wasn't, why would she say that she's his anyway?

Five Times August – Sorry Lyrics 16 years ago
i've been listening to this song all day, i just love it.
this song's for all the people who, like me, just had a fight with the one they love and it reflects how they'll feel, like you've been so stupid and it's your own damn fault.
And you're sorry...
I hope he'll think of me tonight.

Kate Walsh – Don't Break My Heart Lyrics 16 years ago
only thing is, i believe it's 'like on the silver screens my love' instead of 'screams'. It makes more sense, refering to the cinema or the TV; how beautiful love always seems in movies

Kate Walsh – Don't Break My Heart Lyrics 16 years ago
this is exactly my situation... kate walsh realy nails it right.. The only thing she doesn't mention is that when you actually see that other person feeling like crap ('don't go around being happy'), you feel really bad for wanting it in the first place...
well, i did.

Ingrid Michaelson – Glass Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song doesn't need much of an explenation. She went out with someone for some time and now when they see each other they're all stiff and pretending they don't know each other cause it's painful but she doesn't see the man she loved in him anymore ('i cannot find the heart i gave to you')

Ingrid Michaelson – Giving Up Lyrics 16 years ago
She chooses to be in a very serious relationship with someone and she's wondering what could go wrong or what could not be perfect, but that doesn't stop her from loving him and giving up on the things she has to to be with him.

submissions
Ingrid Michaelson – Keep Breathing Lyrics 16 years ago
The sentence 'I want to believe in more than you and me' really touched me. I think it's the most important sentence of the whole song, too.

I think that in her relationship something happened and she's all traumatized about it, so now she's in that situation when she knows all sort of things are happening around her but it doesn't really get across to her, everything seems so unreal.
She wants it to stop, she wants to think about things that are really worth worrying and she wants to be more sympathetic but she can’t, the only thing she can do is to keep on breathing and think about her relationship, which she wants to work out but she doesn’t think it’s really going to happen.

Ah well, that’s how I feel about it.
